Hi

Cabanon P4 and extension with Tatonka Tarp on e-bay.

I would Buy it Now for the £400 even without all the extras - check it out. If I hadn't just bought my Cabanon Barbados then I would be SO tempted.

Anyway my question is about the Tatonka Tarp - any views and details of these. Could I creatively use with my Barbados ?

Hi UB40

Even with 3 kids it's a great tent.

We have had the 5 of us in our Cabanon 4 for years and that was without extensions and tarps - having said that we did take along a gazebo too.

It was only this summer in France that we realised how much bigger it was without the inner tent put up. A footprint groundsheet and a warm evening was all it needed.

A most wonderful of all canvas tents - I just hope we appreciate our Barbados as much - yet to pitch it in anger. We are looking forward to Spring 2010.

Cheers

Mark

What a shame that all that other stuff has been included in the auction and the price. I'd go for it if it was just the tent, footprint and extension but there's nothing else I want (including the tarp).

Welshmark, was it only the tarp you wanted?

Yes, if the Tatonka tarp didn't give it away the pondliner did. Oh, and him putting his name and photo in the listing! LOL.

Everyone else - I reckon "the seller" has seen the error of his ways and now wants a plastic tent that fits in a car boot

Mark - Tatonka Tarp - I have the same tarp as the seller. I cannot begin to tell you how good it is other than in my wife's words - "This is the best thing you have ever bought" obviously she was referring to camping stuff at the time

It is "technical cotton" and stuffs into a compression bag making it a space saving godesend.

This tarp is so flexible with options. You will need (as the seller has) adjustable poles (if you want the cheapest supplier say so). I'm also about to buy a slightly smaller Tantonka tarp, as I love them so much.

It should not be confused with cheaper/inferior tarps.

I can 100% guarantee it will be in top condition and know the owner too. I bought an Andorra off this seller this time last year and can say that it was worth every penny (as were all the extra that were thrown in) Also have the tarp as this seller swears by them.

I know the whole set up was only bought around 8 months ago at the latest as the seller did previously part with all his canvas and bought a TT but decided he wanted to go back to canvas.

We have also been very very tempted ..........

Whoever does buy it will be very happy (and meet a great guy and his wife)

Mr Biscuit, the seller of this canvas tent etc used to post on this board and I am quietly confident that he would rather eat his own hair than camp in a plastic tent

Hi Viscount B

Where should I start looking to buy the tarp and adjustable poles ?

Do you have a favourite shop / website / car boot sale ?

When you say technical cotton what exactly do you mean ?

Thanks

Mark

Mark - if I were you I would go on the auction and ask the seller those questions as he has years and years of knowledge and will be only too glad to help you out.
Tell him we told you to ask his advice.
